A great celebration
A feast on the menu
With joy blessed by family
For I’ve been there too
All by myself
Alone, feeling blue
A heavy cross’ burden
For I’ve been there too
A day to give thanks
To our Father turn to
We nourish the soul
For I’ve been there too
In joy and sorrows
I am your friend true
The way, eternal
For I am there too
On this Thanksgiving day
A different way to measure
If this was our last day
What would be our treasure?
In ways that we were blessed
Of cherished memories
Stored within the soul
Of friends and family
Grateful for the gifts
Shared abundantly
What seemed a random path
In focus now we see
Moment of transition
Now to eternity
What will make the passage
Do we have the key?
Hard truth of the knowledge
Of sinners that we be
To greatest treasure cling
Our Savior walks with thee
